Lyrics

Let the words of my mouth


The meditation of my heart


Be acceptable, Lord to You


May the songs that I sing


My life and offering


Be pleasing Lord, to You


Let my life, Be an offering


Totally devoted


To proclaim, the greatness and the power of Your name


Your faithfulness has never changed


And now I live to say


In all I do, I want to honour You


Let the words of my mouth


Be acceptable to You


May the songs that I sing


Be invincible to You


With all my heart I give my to word to live


Pleasing Lord to You


Be Pleasing Lord


Let the words of my mouth


Be acceptable to You


May the songs that I sing


Be pleasing Lord to You


With all my heart I give my word to live


Pleasing Lord to You


Be Pleasing Lord


Pleasing Lord


Lord Your faithfulness, has never changed


And now I live to say


In all I do, I want to honour You


Honour you


Let the words of my mouth


Be acceptable to You


May the songs, that I sing


Be pleasing Lord to You


With all my heart I give my word to live


Pleasing Lord to You


Be Pleasing Lord


Let the words of my mouth


Be acceptable to You


May the songs, that I sing


Be pleasing Lord to You


With all my heart I give my word to live Pleasing Lord to You

Meaning & Inspiration

The lyric is a prayer that every part of life would be acceptable to God. Words, inward meditation, songs, and daily conduct are presented as an offering rather than as separate acts of devotion. The desire to honor God in all things gives the song its focus, while the repeated plea to be pleasing expresses humility and accountability before him. God's unchanging faithfulness becomes the basis for wholehearted devotion and public praise of his name.

Its opening language closely follows Psalm 19:14, which asks that both speech and meditation be acceptable before the Lord. The image of life as an offering also fits Paul's appeal in Romans 12:1 to present the body as a living sacrifice. Repetition turns these ideas into sustained prayer: worship is not limited to songs but includes the manner in which life is lived. The song's central message is therefore one of surrender, asking that expression, character, and service all honor the God whose faithfulness does not change.
